22 Sep 1997 | Journal: | Astrophys.J. 490 (1997) L41 | Subject: | astro-ph | Affiliation: | U. of Wisconsin; Penn State), Steven R. Majewski (U. of Virginia), David C. Koo (UCO/Lick Observatory), Richard G. Kron (U. of Chicago), and Jeffrey A. Munn (USNO | Abstract: | Through use of multiband (U, B, R, I) photometry we have isolated high redshift (3.0 L* luminosity function for z = 3-5 galaxies obtained by a photometric redshift analysis of the Hubble Deep Field (HDF) by Gwyn & Hartwick (1996). Our results at R ~ 23 are more consistent with the photometric redshift analysis of the faint HDF galaxies by Sawicki & Yee (1996), but our present upper limits at the brightest magnitudes (R < 21.5, M(R) < -24) allow more generous volume densities of these super-L* galaxies. | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/9709216 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
